I agree! I'm trying to build my own Polymer80 and they say to use a wood sanding bit, looks like this lol. I want sure how to use it and now I do. Thanks for the video! Thumbs up!
Same here . My first issue was getting a old one off I just man handled it and ripped it off . And banged the other on . I’m goon if my brain can’t figure it out I can always muscle it
Dremel has updated the design and the new EZ mandrel drum sander now has 4 top locking tabs that overlap the sanding drum holding it firmly in place preventing walk off of the original design that you have.
I enjoy watching your videos, you do a great job of explaining things. I think it's extra cool that you often use the product for the first time on camera. In my opinion, that means that viewers are getting a real, unfiltered / unscripted and more natural product review. Often we forget things when we are using a product for the first time. So many things are going through our heads about different aspects of the tool / product that might actually be very helpful for people considering a purchase. Judy my thoughts on the matter anyhow. Thanks again for some great info!
Love a good Dremel video! Yesterday, I told my husband that I've been on a Dremel kick lately so it's definitely great timing that I've found your channel while looking for reviews of the Versastack. Thanks for another great one! Have a wonderful weekend.
😊thanks sooooo much for a demo of this sanding drum bit. Recently brought one. The how to use directions in pkg are worthless. Your video showing how to use was spot on! So wonder the China haven’t knocked 😮 off. It a PIA. As a woman who likes her Dremel sanding tools…I like the screw on version better.
Yea, I’m having the same exact slippage issue with this attachment and I don’t use it anywhere near as hard as in this video. It starts off working great but starts sliding off more and more.
To be fair. If you use brute force that would imply that your trying to get to grinding done quicker than the dremel is intended for. Same as set lawnmower on full revs to cut long grass and push the mower faster than it can cut. Rather, allow the tool to do the cutting/grinding for you instead of you doing all the hard stuff?????
All my drum sanders that are made with the old design, ( squeeze the rubber drum from both ends to tighten the sleeve) have always worked for me ,that includes my 2 Oscillating Spindle Sanders, drill press attachment type and of course my Dremel. I recently needed genuine sanding sleeves and saw this new type with blue silicon/rubber and for 30 second thought to buy it but then I realized the old system never let me down so why upgrade to something that has not passed the test .
i think you push over it. my sanding drum have same trouble just like u did. but if i go slowly move and nothing happening. the points of my thought is do slowly and not give pressure to deep...
You are not supposed to press down the sander with force! Dremel is not about strength but speed. You hold the tip to the surface and let it do it's work.
Slower speed less pressure. Your get slippage, burning or the sleeve coming apart if you apply to much. If fixed tip like grinding stones or burrs your get away with it more.
Yup. Had the same issue. Turned the speed down and applied less pressure and the drums last a lot longer now. Also, the original drums cost a fortune, you'll get like 6 drums for 6€, but with 6€ you get almost the same quality from china but instead of 6 rolls you get 300 :D
FYI. I bought one of these this week because my little bag of Dremel accessories went missing and I use the sanding drum (old style) to sharpen my mower blades. I also bought the extra sleeves (60 grit). I had mixed results. Through sharpening two blades (my deck has three blades), I started with the sanding sleeve that came with the drum. It did fine on the first blade. I changed to a new sleeve for the second blade with a sleeve from the extras I bought. It started slipping just like in this video. I got a second sleeve from the extras and tried it and it did fine, no slipping. I did notice that the sleeve that slipped seemed to have a slightly larger ID than the second sleeve which did not slip. I haven't investigated the problem any further.
I sanded the old varnish off four spindle table legs using this tool. It was a brilliant. You seem to be trying to cut all the way through that piece of wood. Maybe thats your problem.
My dad taught me that you have to use each tool according to it purpose. Sometimes I see individuals who want a tool to do what it was not originally designed for, and then feel disappointed when the tool does not function the way the individual wants. Like Paulsmessyworkshop said: "I doubt that Dremel thought anyone would use it for what you would buy it for...LOL."
Thank god i watched this video i never used a dremel with these attachments before and i literally was confused on why the sleeve did not fit till i seen you screwing it down....lmfao
He is overloading the sanding drum. Use less pressure which will keep the revs up. I have one one of these same sander attachments and l have never had any problems whatsoever. It's like using any power tool, don't overload it. If you have a. Dog, one of the best uses for this sander is to trim their claws. I use it all the time on my GSD and it's the perfect tool. The claw can be rounded off very smoothly. I have used the sander to shape and carve, sand trenches, enlarge holes and many other jobs. This is a precision tool, treat it with respect and use it with common sense.
I have the same problem with the standard one that come with Dremel.Today I watched a good video showing a guy making his own he just glued sand paper around a dowel let it dry then he cut the dowel into pieces same size as the sanding barrels that you used then put a thin bolt threw the dowel and then slotted it into his Dremel then it never comes off then when it's worn out he just put bolt threw another barrel.It was a awesome idea may be you could do similar idea by gluing your sandpaper barrels to a thin bit of dowel and drill hole threw it till you've used up your sandpaper barrels then make your own after. Cheers Tim from Wood 4 Nothing
@@ScrollsawVideo I have one and I don't have to apply pressure. You are literally trying to make the sleeve come off. That's also why its different types of grits so if you need a deeper sand, buy a tougher grit.
Yup. Great video. Thought I was the only one having this problem with the sanding drums walking off. Would be great if they worked but you end up burning alot of rubber. Useless.
i think you are exceeding what those attachments are designed for, every tool has its limits, for normal use it may perform better. Try the same test with the same force with the older style mandrel and you will get the same result.
The old style can handle much more force than the new style. Maybe the 2 new style pieces that I bought were defective but, in ,my opinion, they are garbage. Have you tried them?
It will do that if you are pushing down hard and bending the rubber holder part. In sanding, you let the sander do the cutting. To condemn something because you abused it is not appreciated by the public. I give you a thumbs down.
@@ScrollsawVideo cant explain because I have not tried the new one. But I can tell you that on the original one, I would have the same issue if I dug in or forced the drum sander no matter how lightly or tightly I screwed in the screw. Maybe just depends on where you are working the drum. But in all of this I found that it needed to be seated firmly and to let the sander do the work. No more issues. But if I forced the drum, the sander would come off or unseat everytime.
I said the same thing and was met with a reply that said that I obviously hadn't used the attachment lol. Some people want to teach but don't have the capacity to learn. I really do hate when bad info is given out willy nilly. He was pushing way too hard onto the wood with the dremel causing the drum to be forced off(key word is 'forced' as in it couldn't perform as intended and stay on the tool because the force being applied to it caused it to push against the barrel while still trying to spin and therefore 'screwing' itself up the barrel.) It is meant to 'sand,' not grind. Good thing it slid off because if it hadn't and anymore pressure was applied it would have eventually caused the motor to give out or some other malfunction caused by stress.
@@u.sonomabeach6528 And some people like you want to make a comment without even trying the tool out for themselves. I worked for Dremel for several years doing demos in Home Depot and Lowes and very well experienced with all of their attachments. My 40 years experience using the rotary tool with different attachments will surely outmatch your experience of not using the tool. Several comments on this video will confirm my findings on this drum sander....please read on if you wish.
Dremel's sanding drum attachments have always been poorly designed. It's no surprise that they went and designed this whole new new "EZ" series mechanism with fancy new toolless drum replacement and didn't bother to solve the fundamental problem of getting a proper hold on the drum.
From my trial with the new style, I will stay with the old style. Hopefully Dremel will get the bugs worked out on this accessory, it has a lot of potential.
I use these sanding drums on steel motorized bicycle drive sprockets all the time. Enlarging the center holes about 3/32" with them and can do two sprockets with one drum (60 grit).
When carving/sanding different pressures will be needed. When sanding cabinets and fine woodworking projects a light pressure is needed. In doing this review I was applying just slightly more pressure than the weight of the tool.
Hmm... I have to say I am with Irwin D on this one... I understand your concern, but Dremel does make tools especially FOR carving... their sanding equipment is not meant for this purpose. I have been carving since college, and my wood instructor there always said "Carve with the hands, and tools... Finshing with sandpaper".
I love it. Never hade trouble slipping on me. I don’t think you have the right size drum. It seems you are forcing it off. Just saying that’s what it looks like.
A big thank you for this video. I just bought one today at Menard's but they changed the packaging and they put ads on it instead and no more directions...ugh! I'm using it for dog nails and will never be putting anywhere near the pressure you applied (I'm living proof I've never done that to her:). Glad you did show the limits of it's application to a work piece...now that they removed the directions your site will make you an internet rock star!! For $6 I didn't wanna wreck it by experimenting how to get the %$(*&@ thing off.
The only "failure" evident in your demonstration is user failure. To begin you did not read the instructions for use of the new product. While that seems typical as evidenced by the number of comments by clueless users amazed that their prior problems stemmed from not having understood the purpose of the compression screw in retaining the sanding sleeve on the drum. The biggest failure is in misuse of the product. Dremel tools are not designed to use excess pressure while sanding. Let the tool do the work and apply only the minimum pressure required to sand the surface. Excess pressure causes the sanding media to cut too deeply and irregularly which necessitates removing far more material than needed. Sanding is a delicate process to be done smoothly and evenly with light pressure, then progressing by stages to finer grades of sanding media smoothly eliminating the marks left by coarser stages, and finally up to a finish appearance which could get as refined as mirror polishing. A proper comparison would have shown a similar level of force applied to the old style drum where the sleeve had been retained by tightening the compression screw. Then the amount of slippage compared between the two types where similar force had been applied while sanding. Otherwise your test was invalid. Any retention system will fail under sufficient force or the sleeve will self destruct or the drum stop turning. The new system might be easier or faster to change out worn sleeves, so the point of the new design may not relate to the amount of slippage at all and it may be valuable for other reasons completely.
First, thanks for the comment. Second, you didn't pay attention to the video very close. Having been a rep for Dremel for many years while making several hundred projects, I can fully state that this product is inferior. Please buy one and try it out for yourself and come back with a review for all to see.
You are putting way to much pressure on the tool. Let the tool do the work. Its getting bogged down and the only way forward is for the drum to slip off. If used correctly the sanding drum attachment is fantastic. You should edit the video and correct the review because you unfairly gave it two thumbs down but the tool was used incorrectly by pushing down against the wood way too hard and that was what was making it slip off. Again, I would like to state that when it is used correctly by not putting so much pressure pushing the tool to the surface of whatever is being sanded and letting the tool do the talking and just move it along over the area that needs sanded while the dremel does its thing, it works great. It's like, if you buy a gun and instead of using the bullets that are intended for that gun you instead get a stick of dynamite and put it in the barrel and light it. When the gun blows up you can't then blame the gun for not performing accurately because if the correct ammunition was used instead of tnt it would have probably been a good shooter.... My reply isn't instead to be sarcastic or step on anybodies toes. It was only intended for viewers of this review to see because I thought you gave an unfair negative review when the thing being reviewed wasn't used correctly IMO. Thank you
@@ScrollsawVideo Actually I used it for an hour just yesterday working a cut from a cedar burl. It worked beautifully. I had absolutely no problems with it. I will post photos from the session. Its actually one of the most useful attachments for the dremel in my opinion. Several generations of woodworking and carpentry in my family as personal passion and professional but what do I know....Ive never seen the attachment do what it did in this video in hours upon hours of use. It works fine for me so ultimately it is no matter. I just stopped by and took a second to warn people that the negative review is from someone who doesnt know(or I should say didnt because they now know because I explained it for them) how to use the attachment and hopefully they won't pass up a useful and dependable attachment because of the flawed review. I dont intend to step on any toes or hurt anyone's feelings but I also pay no mind and it is of no consequence if feelings are hurt or pride is bruised. The attachment works fine. The one in this review didn't because it was used incorrectly. Its a shame. It really is. Anyway....I've spent far too long here and now must be on to more interesting things that hopefully will be of use and will be a value to my time. Good luck everybody.
@@ScrollsawVideo that attachment works fine when you sandwith it. But not meant to use to carve something. Use less pressure and youll see its actually a good attachment. Just sayin
@@angelotoledo7849 If it were as good as you say, why was it discontinued? MANY people that actually purchased it and used it came up with the same problems that I faced. Please, iuf you like this attachment so much do a review and send us a link. Thanks for watching.
Yikes at “the Chinese knock off” intro. Dremel was founded in Austria and is now bought off by American Bosch... you just gave their product two thumbs down but felt the need to make an off handed comment because some other country hasn’t replicated an already fundamentally shitty product? Why tho.
Correction....Dremel was an American brand and manufactured in Racine Wisconsin. Bosc, which bought out Dremel in the early 2000's, is a HUGE German owned company and not only makes tools but automotive parts as well. This is easily confirmed if you wish to investigate and give an update. Thanks for watching.
I honestly didn’t know about how you tighten that screw to hold the sleeve on. Thank you. That’s going to help very much.

Thanks. I have seen where many people have had the same experience with this drum attachment. I was very disappointed, wanted it to work as it should.
Do they make a sanding sleeve for metal work? I need to ream a whole a tad wider to accept a coder pin bolt through a trailer hitch extension adapter.

All interaction is positive.
I use these sanding drums on steel motorized bicycle drive sprockets all the time. Enlarging the center holes about 3/32" with them and can do two sprockets with one drum (60 grit).
You wouldn't really press as hard as you did anyway , and the old style comes off even more easily

What happens is these sanding bands last about 2 minutes and shoot off and then the blue rubber begins to wear and the whole thing is worthless.

I've had a dremel it wasn't for shit but I love my rural king rotary only paid twenty
It just expands to grip at the very end....no wonder the Chinese don't wanna know
I used hot glue gun to get the sanding sleeve to stay on the drum so it won't slip off any.
just trying to give helpful idea tip.
Thanks for the review , But I'm convinced, It's crap ,I wouldn't buy it,
Not a fair review. The attachment was never intended to take that much pressure.
quit hogging it and it will be fine
You are putting way to much pressure on the tool. Let the tool do the work. Its getting bogged down and the only way forward is for the drum to slip off. If used correctly the sanding drum attachment is fantastic. You should edit the video and correct the review because you unfairly gave it two thumbs down but the tool was used incorrectly by pushing down against the wood way too hard and that was what was making it slip off. Again, I would like to state that when it is used correctly by not putting so much pressure pushing the tool to the surface of whatever is being sanded and letting the tool do the talking and just move it along over the area that needs sanded while the dremel does its thing, it works great. It's like, if you buy a gun and instead of using the bullets that are intended for that gun you instead get a stick of dynamite and put it in the barrel and light it. When the gun blows up you can't then blame the gun for not performing accurately because if the correct ammunition was used instead of tnt it would have probably been a good shooter....
My reply isn't instead to be sarcastic or step on anybodies toes. It was only intended for viewers of this review to see because I thought you gave an unfair negative review when the thing being reviewed wasn't used correctly IMO. Thank you
Obviously, from your comment, you haven't used this attachment. Please, go buy one and try it out and come back and give a review.
@@ScrollsawVideo Actually I used it for an hour just yesterday working a cut from a cedar burl. It worked beautifully. I had absolutely no problems with it. I will post photos from the session. Its actually one of the most useful attachments for the dremel in my opinion. Several generations of woodworking and carpentry in my family as personal passion and professional but what do I know....Ive never seen the attachment do what it did in this video in hours upon hours of use. It works fine for me so ultimately it is no matter. I just stopped by and took a second to warn people that the negative review is from someone who doesnt know(or I should say didnt because they now know because I explained it for them) how to use the attachment and hopefully they won't pass up a useful and dependable attachment because of the flawed review. I dont intend to step on any toes or hurt anyone's feelings but I also pay no mind and it is of no consequence if feelings are hurt or pride is bruised. The attachment works fine. The one in this review didn't because it was used incorrectly. Its a shame. It really is. Anyway....I've spent far too long here and now must be on to more interesting things that hopefully will be of use and will be a value to my time. Good luck everybody.
@@u.sonomabeach6528 My father was a Jewish carpenter.....but he never used a rotary tool. Point is, family history does not make someone an expert.
@@ScrollsawVideo you are right. Good luck. Thank you
The review was as good as it gets but no need for the 'Chinese knockoff ' comment.
It tells me you are pushing too hard and you will also burn out your deemed.
Slowly and a bit at a time....fool !
Sorry, been using a rotary for 40 years and never had a problem with the original design.
I am finding your comments on Chinese knock off to be offensive and not called for.
But they are true which I will happily bring to each of my videos. If you find it offensive, please go ahead and state your case.
It tells me not to buy one.
Who the hell sands like that. With all that pressure????? Learn to use the tool before you post tutorials
LOL....being a demonstrator for Dremel with over 30 years experience, I believe I have the knowledge to use the tools accurately.
Thanks for watching.
@@ScrollsawVideo that attachment works fine when you sandwith it. But not meant to use to carve something. Use less pressure and youll see its actually a good attachment. Just sayin
@@angelotoledo7849 If it were as good as you say, why was it discontinued? MANY people that actually purchased it and used it came up with the same problems that I faced. Please, iuf you like this attachment so much do a review and send us a link.
Thanks for watching.
Fingers too manly.... :)
Yes, I use them all the time....lol.
Yikes at “the Chinese knock off” intro. Dremel was founded in Austria and is now bought off by American Bosch... you just gave their product two thumbs down but felt the need to make an off handed comment because some other country hasn’t replicated an already fundamentally shitty product? Why tho.
Correction....Dremel was an American brand and manufactured in Racine Wisconsin. Bosc, which bought out Dremel in the early 2000's, is a HUGE German owned company and not only makes tools but automotive parts as well.
This is easily confirmed if you wish to investigate and give an update.
Thanks for watching.
OMG that's not a nut it's a bolt.
LOL....actually its not a bolt, its a screw.
@@ScrollsawVideo bolt.
It threads into a sleeve to apply clamping force on a non-threaded part.
A screw threads directly into the part it's fastening.
